Official synopsis Publisher
Escape to beautiful Bella Vista for a heartwarming story of sisters, new beginnings and hidden family secrets.
Isabel Johansen, a celebrated chef from sun-drenched Sonoma, California, is transforming her childhood home into a destination cooking school. Bella Vista’s rambling hacienda, with its working apple orchards, bountiful gardens and beehives, is the idyllic venue for Isabel’s project…and the perfect place for her to forget the past.
As Isabel eagerly prepares Bella Vista for its first major event, she never expected her perfectly ordered plans to go awry. But that’s exactly what happens when war-torn journalist Cormac O’Neill arrives to write her grandfather’s biography, including his role in the Danish Resistance during WWII. For Isabel, finding new love just might mean confronting some buried secrets of her own.
Master storyteller Susan Wiggs expertly crafts a tale of love, sacrifice and the unbreakable bonds of family–a story that will capture hearts from start to finish.
